You really don’t need to have a special occasion on hand in order to get excited about macaron sweets! But it certainly is nice to celebrate with tasty little pastry treats. We’re taking our love for desserts from the kitchen into the craftroom with a fun note card using the Let’s Bake series. Those adorable macaron images and fab foodie sayings make us smile each and every time.

Hip hip hooray for a little Rosé! That’s been our mantra around here all summer long, and we have to admit we really love a good Rosé. Well what’s not to love? It has a pretty pink color, gives off a sweet taste and smell, not to mention the fun bubbly effervescents – it’s a perfect summer treat for grown ups. Hey, adulting is hard! We need a little reprieve every now and again – we just happen to take ours with pink bubbles.

There is something simply irresistible about the color peach! It’s warm and inviting and pairs well with any color. You know how some colors look great on everything? You can be sure that in this color, every project will turn out Pretty in Peach. It’s available in our full color line to include: hybrid ink, […]

Every now and then you may just need a little something stronger than coffee in your cup. We definitely promote drinking responsibly and in cute hand-crafted style. With Summer in full swing, fruit flavored martinis are the perfect way to toast the warmer months and treat yo’ self to a tasty beverage.

Our Envie Liners have been a longtime CSS Favorite, and we’ve made some awesome upgrades based on customer feedback and how we like to style our own envelopes and stationery. We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up National Letter and Card Writing Month than with a great new set of dies to dress up your everyday stationery needs.

–> What’s new and improved, you ask? …Everything!

April is officially National Letter and Card Writing month, which celebrates the art of handwriting and (wait for it…) actually mailing a letter or card! We love that stationery has a month all it’s own to be celebrated and shared with others.

In honor of National Letter and Card Writing month, we’re encouraging you to try one of our top ten ways to celebrate snail mail and send a handwritten note out to a loved one, a close friend, a neighbor or even a stranger simply to say “hello” and brighten their day.

You’ll be surprised how one simple gesture can fill a heart with so much joy…

What happens when you cross a relaxing Sunday afternoon with National Ice Cream Day…a Sundae Funday!

That’s right, we enjoyed a day of creating in the craft room over the weekend. And we whipped up a super cute ice cream inspired project to celebrate a sweet moment – National Ice Cream month. With this no calorie option, we absolutely love that stamping and coloring our favorite flavors won’t require an extra trip to the gym this week!

Besides, creating sets of tags is pretty much a ritual around here. There is always a reason to dress up a gift bag or add a nice touch to wrapped gifts without taking up too much time and still making the recipient feel extra special.So in honor of a papercrafting diet that allows us to create any and every treat possible without gaining a pound, we are reaching for the Foodie Fun stamp set, Tags 1 Combo, and a few other supplies to create a sweet set of tags.

With a mix of warm, summery colors each tag comes to life with an assortment of fun messages – it means a lot when you love someone more than ice cream, right?!Each tag starts with the same Foodie Fun ice cream cone image, and with a bit of creative coloring we’re serving up a medley of flavors.

That’s really the best part about ice cream – there are so many yummy choices. We had fun recreating our favorites on paper and adding them to our stash of tags. Visit us on Instagram and tell us your favorite flavors…

Today we are combining food with function…jellybeans count as a food group right?! Crafting with sweets is always fun, and makes for tasty snacks along the way – make sure you have extra on hand to nibble on through the creative process…

We love to use the 2014 Calendar Tags PDF download to create beyond simple tags. By printing the calendars onto Sheerly Chic Cardstock we created a fun insert to turn the Party Favor 2 Die into a sweet little treat box.

Fill the favor box with a seasonal snack – we chose peach flavored jellybeans…kind of a favorite around here this time of year! The calendar inset holds the treats securely in place, while we added a bit of Gold/White Twine and a polka dot stamped lid insert using Circles Plus to embellish the box.

For the outside lid, we created a spring monogram for the month of April using Alpha Monogram.
